Kill Babies In "Dante's Inferno"
skull13666 | 4:42 PM on 04.25.2009 13 comments


Will EA be the new Rockstar Games when they release "Dante's Inferno"? In the game, based on the epic poem of the same name, one of the enemies will appearently be evil {"unbaptized"} babies. According to writer, producer, director, and baby-killer Jonathan Knight, the babies "seem harmless at first, but once they start ganging up on you, they're harder to kill." The game takes place in hell. Obviously, good babies don't end up in hell. Oh did I mention you get to scythe them all up with a, you guessed it, SCYTHE!

skull13666 | 3:08 PM on 04.25.2009 5 comments


During the "Week's of Arcadia" promotion that Microsoft has been running they released Braid for 800 MS points, as opposed to it's normal priceing of 1200. YET, anyone who bought it the week of Feb. 23rd were STILL charged 1200 MS points. Microsoft is now refunding you 500 points {instead of the 400 extra you paid} and issueing emailed apologies seen below.

"Dear Xbox LIVE Gold Member:
We launched Deal of the Week program on Feb 23rd, 2009 as an added benefit to your Gold membership and we are very excited to see the overwhelming response we have received from our loyal users such as you.

As a result of the increased transactions we know that you experienced an intermittent Xbox LIVE issue, which resulted in you being charged full price of 1200 points for the ‘Braid' deal instead of the discounted price of 800 points. We sincerely wish to apologize for the
technical glitch and would like to take this moment to thank you for your patience and understanding as our team worked around the clock to fix this problem.

We will not only be crediting back the 400 points that were overcharged, but also be crediting an extra 100 points as a token of our appreciation and as a thank you for your loyalty during this period. You will see a credit of 500 points in your account in the coming weeks."

Marvel VS Capcom Here In 5 Days?
skull13666 | 11:52 AM on 04.22.2009 16 comments




Sure everyone has heared the rumors and rubmlings and this supposed achievement list that has been leaked. I didn't believe any of this, and haven't seen the list. Last night however I stumbled upon this site

http://www.tu4ar.com/

So there's this big number 2 in the background and the site is TU4AR, which if you rememebr the theme for the character select screen was "Take You For A Ride"... Connect the dot's.
I am still VERY skeptical on this, in my mind a game of this massive calibur should be getting atleast a MONTH of promotions... right? Well if it does happen we will all be happy campers, if not we will all wait in our caves for the day that this game is rightfully re-distributed.

Awsome Day Is Awsome -Long Post Is Long-
skull13666 | 7:43 PM on 04.17.2009 11 comments


So, I was helping my dad with our storage stuff and I SOOOOO found my Suprawr Nintendo with ALL my games. I have comprised a list of the game's because they are ALL games that as an SNES owner I could NOT live without.


Mario Is Missing - Sure it maybe an educational game, but it was DAMN fun and is one of the first times Luigi get's the spotlight.

Super Castlevania IV - My first introduction to my favorite Dracula slaying adventures, I still have this version of "Simon's Theme" on my IPod.

Super Metroid - Possibly the most EPIC Samus adventure since we found out she was not a he.

Super Mario World - I do not thing ANYone owns an SNES without this game, also the first SNES game I ever played. Christmas '93 baby.

Megaman X - My first introduction to the Blazin Blue Bomber, and also one of the last games before he became obsolete.

Zombies Ate My Neighbors - Now anyone who knows me knows my obsession/fear of zombies, this game might be what started it. One of the few games I wish would get a next-gen update.

ActRaiser 2 - This game... OH this game, this one is one of the games I have never beaten. It is one of the hardest games on SNES and yet everytime I died I was fine with it for some reason. I miss that bastard angel.

Batman Forever - I have fond memories of this game when my mother used to work in a factory that made Arcade Cabnet's. I always got upset when the Batmobile blewed up.

Blackthrone - Great space slavery shooter story, all I really rememebr about it was badass sci-fi.

The Death And Return Of Superman - The ONLY good Superman game. Started with a great fight with Doomsday, then went RIGHT into the Reign story.

Earthworm Jim - The cow man, the cow.

Super Street Fighter 2 - Possibly the greatest fighter to ever exist, my brothers used to always beat me at it, Now I rule it.

Super Ghouls And Ghosts - Another game that I wish would make a comeback, nothing like being stripped down to my heart boxers by monsters and forced to play through the game a second time to actually beat it.

The Incredible Hulk - Now I'm not the biggest Hulk fan but this game was fun as hell and had some AWSOME cameo's in it.

Justice League Task Force - Great little fighter with the JLA and a few of the bad guy's. My first introduction to the character Despero.

Killer Instinct - Made out to be a MK killer, which it should have been. KI was a great fighter with alot of interesting characters.

Legend of Zelda, The: A Link to the Past - The second best Link adventure in my book, I really loved the mirror world that was in it.

Mario Paint - Man you could do EVERYTHING in this game. Paint, make music... paint....
Maximum Carnage - The BEST Spider-man game ever, not only could you be Spidy AND Venom, but holy crap appeances from Cap, F4, Morbius, and so many other's. I love the fight with Doppleganger when you are crawling up the wall.

Mickey Mania: The Timeless Adventures of Mickey Mouse - YES I PUT MICKEY ON HERE. This game was so freaking awsome cause you go through the whole history of Mickey. You start as Steamboat freaking Willy, in black and white and that style. this game was AWSOME.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Fighting Edition - Ah, back when Power Rangers was awsome. this game you could be any of the Rangers, monster's, OR the Megazord's

RPM Racing - I actually don't remember MUCH about this game but I know Interplay is a great company and this was fun.

Spider-Man and Venom: Separation Anxiety - A second part to the Carnage game, this one was MUCH harder. MUST...BEAT.

Spider-Man & the X-Men: Arcade's Revenge Now I have mentioned hard games on this list, but this game right here OH MY GOD. This HAS to be the HARDEST game on SNES. I could barely beat any level's even with Gambit :(

Star Fox - Holy Crap. 3D. On MY SNES? Hell's yes, If I remember this MIGHT have been the intro for all of us to 3D gameing, don't quote me though.

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Future's Past - Now I am not the biggest Trekkie, but this was a great puzzler, and you can play as Patrick mofoin Stewart.

Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars - My first RPG, I have memories of getting sick from sleep deprivation CAUSE of playing this game... thank you Mario. -_-
Super Punch Out!! - So much more fun that the original Punch out, I can not wait for the new one.

Terminator 2: Judgment Day - ANOTHER DAMN HARD GAME, This game was so freaking fun and everyone know's my Terminator obsession. The farthest I have ever made it in this game is to Mexico to get the gun's, ONE DAMN TIME, never made it back. :(

Wolverine: Adamantium Rage - What is with me owning all the hardest games on this console -_-

 about me

Well I'm the host of "ComicTube", a Podcast dealing in reviews and news of comicbook, video games, and fantasy movies and TV series'. If you'd like to give us a listen ill a link below, we need some Itunes reviews and could always use some more forum activity. I'm really into the AMV craze, it's a really good way to get my visions across since I'm a Film Student anyway, right now I have ALMOST 200 videos on YouTube. I would gladly make one for anyone here on Destructoid if you all have a suggestions. I'm really into comics and anime, my favorite comic by FAR is the X-Men. There is just SO much diversity in all the titles of it's long run. Currently not watching too much anime, just Bleach, I can't stand to read the dubs cause I get sleepy so I am really waiting on Gurren Laggen to come to America.
To para-phrase "The Boondock Saint's"
"EAT SLEEP WORK GAME These are principals which every man of every faith can embrace."
